To all whom it may concur-12 Be ll known than; i Gnon :32 ll. Eiamnca n 7 -v I oi Loom. -sier, 1n. the county or /voreester and Siam of ivinssuehusefls, have invented eertnin'ncw and useful improvements in ling member adjustable with relation to the embossing member in order um nnrteriirl of different thicknesses may he noted. on.

.ii further objeo; of this inven ion is to provide means for holding the :ntter in adjustable relation to the embossing member and means for pressing the (cutter into engage-- ment with. the said embossing member.

A further object of this invention t out, a omb or like object in the outline and with an ornamental. edge and siinultrmeouslv therewith to emhoss or ornament the hood or body of the comb proper, thereby completely cutting and ornen'ien tin; the comb in one stroke or a press or cutter head.

A still further object of the invenlion is lo provide a cutter r hhnlo mid means for pressing lhe blade into contact will u die, i'he said moons for pressing lhe blade being adjustable in order that it inn open-r10 on he hhrdc or dill'erent angles.

With the foregoing; and other objects in view, the invsntirm. coi'isislis in the deinils of (menstruation and in the srrnne'onieni and CUll'lblfliL-liOfl of ports lo he heminzrl'n'r more luily so lorih and claimed.

hose, or if .nmy he brought info (:onincir therewith it shown in Fig. .2.

The edge ol' the die hloel; is shaved to the contour ol' the surl'nce lo he cut; and said edge provided with o blade or knife I), shaped to fhe contour of the said edge. The blade is provided will imnsrersely elongated apertures I), which receive the screws i threaded in the die hloeh. 'lhe hlnde or knife is secured against movement by means of the screws 1, :iltl ough the screws nuiy he loosened to permit the :nljustnieni ol the blade or lI11ll O\VlNI lo fho rm that the zrpertiircs E, are eiongzil'ed lrzmsverscly.

As n menus for ell'ecling an adjustment of the blade or knife, n series of screws G, are threaded in the hose A, and have their ends hearing" ogninst the under edge of the blade or knife, rind by Lurnirng the screws G, the

blade or knife is elevated or is llowed to rest on the base zureording to the requirements of he OIXHUJOI'. Dis shown in Fig. 2, the cutting edge of the hi: do or knife projects a suitable distance shove the surface of the die block sothnt ihe cutting edge penetrates the material n-(tled on hy the die block al the time the said die block has acted on the surface of the materinl. ll the nmierizd to be operated upon so ihick as to prevent the (tinting edge of lhe knife ponotrnling it by the time the die hloek has performed its function, the screws (2, nurv he moved in projeel; the cutting edge of the knife :1, greater disiunee above the sur l'ueo el the, die block.

The hose A, is )rorided with a series of sockets ii, in which shanks l, of posts J, are partially rolzirnhle and each posiis provided with n llironded aperture .li, to receive the.

sol screws ii, which have their ends bearing "gains-l the hhnlo for the )nrpose of holding it on the edge of the die lil oele As lhe posts are artially roiulirhle it follows that the screws may he :rdjusred Lo hour on the blade in I gg'htlv dillbrent positions recording to the rer;uiremonls and the contour of the edge of the die hloeh.

Brnehels M, are secured to the die block mid air plow N, is supported on said brackets. Fingers i1), pwjeel. over the surface of the plane hi, and. into iipertures of shrinks I, which shanks projcelthrough the plate and hove their lower ends ilirez'rdcd to receive the winger. Q.

screwshave to be adjusted to cause the die block to lie parallel with the base, in order to get the best results from the operation of the device. It Wl'll also be observed that there is a series of screws G, in order that the blade may be supported at different points through.-

out its length, and it will be observed that the posts: and having their ends bearing the adjustment of the blade is entirely independent of the adjustment of the die block.

ihe plate N, is for the purpose of sustaining the teeth portion of the comb blank While the cutter and die are being operated. Fingers O, retain said comb blank in position and are adjustably secured by means of shanks P,

and Winged nuts ,I claim 1. In a cutting and embossing device, abase, a die block, means for adjusting the die block with relationto the base, a blade secured to the edge of the die blockand having its cutting edge projecting above the surface of the die block, means for adjusting the blad efand means for frictionally holding the bladein contact With theedge of the die block. r v r a cutting and embossing device, a base, a die block adjustable With relation to the base, said-diebloizk having screw threaded apertures inv its edge, a blade conforming to the contour of the die blockand having apertures elongated transverselyof the blade, screws threaded in the apertures of the die block adapted to bear against the blade for retaining it in its adjusted position, and

assessscrews threaded in the base and bearing against the under surface of the blade,

contour of the die block and bearing against the edge thereof, posts having shanks adjustably mounted in the base, screws threaded in against the blades, means for adjusting the blade, and screws for clamping the blade to the (lie block.

l. In a cutting and-embossing device, a base, a die block, brackets thereon, a plate on (the brackets, fingers extending over the surface of the plate, shanks having apertures to receive the fingers, and mea for clamping the shanks in adjusted relation to the plate 5. In "a cutting and embossing device, a base, a die block, a blade having its cutting edge projecting above the surface of the die block, brackets on the die block, a plate on the brackets, said plate having apertures, fingers extending over the surface of the fingers, said shanks projecting through the apertures of the plate, andnuts threaded on the shanks for clamping the fingers to the plate.
